Controlling Multiple Optical

Switch Modules

With your platform, you can set common parameters and simultaneously
operate several modules of the same kind in a single interface, which is
particularly useful in larger systems.

Note: You should be familiar with the configuration and operation of a single

module before controlling multiple modules simultaneously.

Starting a Multimodule Application

The multimodule applications available will change according to your
module configuration (model, type, etc.).

Note: When you start a multimodule application, you cannot open a monitor

window at the same time, as it is possible with a single-module
application. You must open the monitor window independently.

To start a multimodule application:
1.
In IQS Manager, select the Integrated Applications function tab.

2. Click the appropriate Multiple Module Controller button.

The multimodule application appears in a new window.

Note: More than one Multiple Module Controller button may be displayed if

different models are present in your platform.
